Stress for Women: How to Ditch PMS -- for Good

Bloat. Mood swings. Stress. Pimples: Just a few of the less-than-welcome health symptoms of premenstrual syndrome. Send them packing with these six strategies

Hit the gym We know (and truly, feel your pain): The last thing you want to do when you're battling bloat, cramps and moodiness is work out. But, friend, you must bust out of that rut and get your body moving. Although it seems counterintuitive, exercise (of any kind) actually reduces, or sometimes entirely eliminates PMS; it's also an excellent way to reduce stress and lower your risk of diseases including heart disease and cancer, but you already knew that.

I can't take any of the over the counter remedies. They speed me up. I prefer vitamin B6, magnesium oxalate 200-600 mg/day , calcium 1000 mg/day, vitamin C 500 mg/day, an extra dose of iron, vitamin K 30 mg/day, & vitamin B2 400 mg/day. Check with your doctor first, as everyone is different. If you are on other meds you should check with your healthcare professional before taking these as well. They work like a charm for me!
